Jesse Jackson, A Desperate Leader

Recommended Posts

This just in: the black “leadership” has spoken and war is not the answer.

Though some 70% of Americans supported the war against Iraq, you didn’t find a corresponding pro-American outcry from the black community. And it’s no wonder. The reason that most blacks didn’t support the war is that most of their leaders were against it.

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the Congressional Black Caucus, and a cornucopia of embittered black church leaders and a slew of civil rights degenerates came out vocally and vengefully against the war.

Let us run down the latest from this group of bedraggled misfits that masquerade as leaders:

Jesse Jackson wrote an open letter to Saddam Hussein indicating that his opposition to the war has grown after Colin Powell’s presentation to the U.N. earlier in February. Jackson was a part of several large antiwar protests in recent months. That’s right – Jesse Jackson, the man who called New York City “Hymietown” and Jews “Hymies,” the adulterer minister, the lover of Palestine and hater of Israel.

Louis Farrakhan, speaking in Baghdad this past July, reportedly said “the Muslim American people are praying to the almighty God to grant victory to Iraq [in the war].” Farrakhan recently wrote an open letter to President Bush, in which he wrote, “May Allah … guide you.”

If Farrakhan was referring to the god that he serves, then I must assert that I hope “Allah” is the last one guiding our President.

And does Farrakhan really believe that President Bush is going to take advice from a known anti-Semite who once called Hitler a “great man,” a minister who has referred to Judaism as a “gutter religion” and Jews as the “blue-eyed devil?”

Next up on this list of civil rights leftovers is Al Sharpton. He and Jesse Jackson are together again, frequenting the antiwar/anti-American protests of recent months.

Sharpton is mounting his presidential run and thus is making an attempt to be on his best behavior, but it’s hard to forget his past: the Tawana Brawley hoax, the reference to a Jewish man as a “white interloper” and Jews as “diamond merchants,” the history of race-baiting that is only outdone by the men previously mentioned.

For the sake of brevity, I’ll mention only one last collection of enraged black leaders. As reported by FinalCall.com, on February 8, in Detroit, Michigan, black clergy and black leaders from across the county united to denounce the war and send a message to President Bush.

Among the gems of this event were those uttered by Dr. Charles Adams, pastor of Hartford Memorial Baptist Church, Rev. Marcia Louise Dyson (wife of hatemonger Professor Michael Eric Dyson, who was also in attendance at the event), and Rev. Fr. James A. Forbes Jr.

Adams proclaimed “It is insanity, injustice and indecency to start a war in Iraq when we haven’t finished in Afghanistan, we haven’t cleaned up drugs in America and now we want to attack postage stamp-sized Iraq.”

It may come as news to Dr. Adams that there was no “out-of-the-blue” start to the war – it was a necessary and appropriate response to repeated violations of U.N. Mandates following the Gulf War.

Mrs. Dyson declared that “We cannot say that we are against terrorism in other countries when terrorism exists right here in America.” If Reverend Dyson finds democracy and freedom so troubling then perhaps she would be happier living with all the privileges and immunities Saddam had granted to the good people of Baghdad.

Finally we have the words of Rev. Dr. Forbes: “If being a good American means ignoring the value of life, then we have a problem. If being a good American means we can flex our muscles to say, [America] can do whatever and ignore the sensibilities of men like Nelson Mandela, then we have a problem.”

How could the Rev. Forbes have claim to care about the value of life, when he called on the United States government to hazard the lives of Americans be letting Saddam Hussein off the hook?

And last time I checked, Nelson Mandela was a communist – an inherent enemy of the American republic. If our country had been founded on the sensibilities of Mandela then America would be the disaster that is South Africa.

It is amazing, but all too predictable, that the black leadership could be so united against America. As we’ve seen here, most of these “leaders” are ministers no less.

These people are supposedly called by God – implying a respect for human dignity – and yet they have no qualms at all in opposing a regime that secured safety for its people by liberating those oppressed by a brutal dictator.

Of course this united voice of the black leadership, reflected in an utter lack of pro-American support from the black community, should come to us as no shock.

We have long known that the majority of the so-called black civil rights leaders and black preachers are communist-socialist pigs who hate America and hate Israel passionately, despise President Bush, and can’t stand the melting of their once widespread power since 9-11.
